The best restaurantsof irish

31/03/2026: We had a fabulous experience at Isaac's restaurant last night. Our food was delicious and excellent value for money. Although the restaurant was extremely busy with a very large group food was delivered promptly and our server Conor was extremely helpful and attentive. We'll definitely return

28/02/2026: Crab crumble, poor and overpriced at 17 euros, not very much Crab at all However the monkfish scampi were very good and much better value, wine expensive as it is everywhere, although the monthly wine okay

07/04/2026: 10/10 - An incredible place to stay. Food in the restaurant was like you would receive in a Michelin star restaurant. It was amazing. Staff and whole experience was brilliant. Our 2 doggies loved the break as well. 100% we will be back.

30/03/2026: "One of the most delightful and memorable Manor House Hotels to stay in, beautifully set between it's own Woodland and Ballinakill Bay - which is adjacent to Killary Fjord, and minutes from Diamond Hill towards Clifden." This is an award winning property with open log fires, stunning antigue furniture, beautiful drawing rooms and a silver service dining room - this Manor House has 20 bedrooms to suit every budget. The character of this property is delightfully charming, picturesque and breathtaking. This is a family run hotel steeped in all aspects of Irish Hospitality, with the 3rd generation of the Foyle clan at the helm. Very popular with small and intimate weddings, and national & international guests, the Rosleague Manor House Hotel will recharge your batteries, as well as spoiling you with lovely memories. Isobel Foyle's personal labour and vision for this property back in 1968 - is in safe hands with her hardworking grandson Mark. Located on the N59 between Letterfrack and Clifden, it's also very near Kylemore Abbey.

12/04/2026: As good as can be in Longford town

11/04/2026: Good spot. Lots of choice in the food court.

26/02/2026: Loved it! The hotel has a lovely vibe with lots of areas to sit and enjoy your coffee. Newly renovated room with comfortable beds. The shower was fantastic with really good water pressure. Would definitely stay again.

21/02/2026: A Beautiful Hotel, and great service.

15/01/2026: The food was good and well presented. While none of the dishes particularly impressed me, everything tasted good overall.

22/11/2025: Well what can we say? Each and every dish was so good! Especially the fish course. Not much of a fish person but Lady Helen converted me! We were full by the veal course but it was so good that we finished it. We did not go for wine pairing but ordered a bottle between the two of us. I meam the wine was lovely. Every time we come to Kilkenny, we come to the Lady Helen. Thank you again and can't wait to be back!

04/11/2025: We often stop here on the way to the west of Ireland. Its a great halfway stop. Lovely food, cosy atmosphere. Staff always lovely. Their veg soup and brown bread is delicious 😋

27/10/2025: Called in this morning 9am while passing through the area, reception door wouldn't open, but the restaurant door was. I asked the staff if they were severing breakfast, one of the staff said "No" and something about been full, hard to understand the accent. She said I could get something to eat in the garage down the road, if i wanted to eat in a garage i wouldn't be asking are they seriving breakfast, don't see how they were full as the car park was half empty (5 cars) and there was no one in the restaurant at all, place looked dead. Went onto Stokestown and had a lovely Breakfast in the Percy French Hotel. Never again.

31/03/2026: A cool pub in Rathfarnham! It’s moderately bustling, and the atmosphere is satisfying no matter who you go with. It’s truly lovely. The price of Guinness is reasonable, and the starter I had here—I think it was chicken wings—was really, really delicious. It tasted like chicken seasoned with hot sauce. The portion was quite generous, too. 100% willing to visit again

26/03/2026: Great iconic genuine local pub. Great pint and food. Lounge staff are great. Bar staff could be more friendly 🤔 - but maybe that's part of their quirky charm :-)

28/12/2025: Visited for a couple of drinks. Bar staff very friendly and helpful. Front areas clean and tidy. Back areas bit rundown. Toilets need to be attended more often. Not good!

20/11/2025: Lovely place but breakfast wasn’t good at all a dirty looking fried egg bacon was rock hard beans very little it wasn’t good and I normally love coming here

15/04/2026: We had a wonderful experience here! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent throughout. A thoughtful touch we really appreciated was how they brought pens and paper for our little one to enjoy—it made the visit even more enjoyable for us. Highly recommend!

18/03/2026: Their sushi is so good, I could eat their sushi every day and never get tired of it. That goes for most of their food. Staff are friendly and I like the sometimes quiet atmosphere, wish it was closer to home tho.. If you're ever thinking of getting food here, don't think just go do it because this place is 10/10🎀

08/04/2026: Good central pub. Nice selection of drinks. Friendly and helpful staff.

04/03/2026: Fantastic bar in the heart of Kilkenny with the best staff!

12/04/2026: Great spot for Lunch or Brunch.

12/04/2026: Outrageous prices, food quality has gone down hill massively. Quite noticeable the amount of corners being cut. 22 euro for a burger! 11 euro for a kids pancake Flat white very watery, pidgin grill was bland, avocado was fluffed out compared to the older high standard. This was a five star review but after my last couple of visits I can no longer stand over that and had to change it.

29/03/2026: Clean plates for everyone - a compliment to the chef! The variety on the menu was tested by our party of 17 - from teriyaki salmon to duck, pasta, cajun chicken, stirfry and pasta dishes and even lamb meant there was something for everyone. We were very well looked after by Roisin and Theo (thanks for taking our photos). We will be back :-).

23/03/2026: Went early in the day but despite being quiet service was very slow. Given table quickly but long wait to order food and even longer wait to get drinks that were ordered. Kitchen was fine and food gorgeous but server was switched off. Left with empty glasses and on checked in once at the end despite only two other small groups there.

28/03/2026: Nice and cozy place, but the service need improvement, unfortunately bad first impression...

18/03/2026: Lovely food and staff are great 🥰

30/10/2025: A fabulous dining experience at restaurant Chestnut. We had the four course set taster menu with wine pairing. From the warm greeting and service from Elaine and team to the DELICIOUS food prepared by Rob and the kitchen team the experience was incredible. The food was thought provoking and very tasty, Thank you 🙏

30/10/2025: Had the most amazing experience at The Chestnut Restaurant. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable of all their produce and dishes. We couldn't fault anything we ate and the wine pairing was fabulous too. Yes! It's not cheap but you know why when you taste the delights they offer.

26/04/2026: Eaten here several times food top class

23/04/2026: Great old style chipper food best onion rings in the country
